Stick birthday candles are like magic wands that can make a birthday party warm and happy just by lighting them. Today, let me teach you how to make these special and loving birthday candles!
First of all, we need to prepare all the materials, choose the environmentally friendly and harmless wax, such as sweet beeswax or soy wax, which are all natural, and the wick, which is like the heart of the candle, it is indispensable! Don't forget to bring along those magical food colours, such as purple, to make those super dreamy purple number candles!
Get your moulds ready too, heart shaped moulds for 'I love you cake candles', number moulds for ages, or just plain old cylindrical moulds, and make whatever you like!
Then we have metal or plastic rods to hold the wicks in place, a hot water pot or microwave to melt the wax, a ruler and scissors to trim, and a little bit of spice oil to give the candles a nice scent!
Okay, let's get started! Wash and dry the moulds first, then cut the wicks and secure them with metal rods. Next, melt the wax in a pan of hot water or microwave it carefully ~ if you want to make purple candles, add some purple food colouring and mix well!
Then, pour the melted wax into the moulds, not too full! If you want to make heart-shaped candles, you can also put stickers or decorations while the wax is half-solidified. Once the wax is completely set, you can gently remove the candle from the mould!
Finally, don't forget to trim the wick to keep it at the right length. You can also get creative and add hand-drawn patterns, words or mix different coloured wax pieces on the candle to make it even more unique!
See, isn't this a personalised and cosy way to make a birthday candle? Whether you give it to your family, friends or yourself, it can be a special surprise! I hope you all enjoy the process of making them, and let the love and happiness burn together with the candles!
